Air Fryer Root Vegetable Chips Ingredients :

- Olive oil: 1-2 tablespoons
- Salt: to taste
- Optional seasonings: black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary
How to make Air Fryer Root Vegetable Chips :
Prepare the Vegetables:Wash and peel the root vegetables. Slice them as thinly as possible (1/8 inch or less) to ensure even cooking. Use a mandoline slicer if you have one for consistent thickness.
Season and Toss: Place the vegetable slices in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and any optional seasonings you like, then toss to coat evenly.
Preheat the Air Fryer:Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
Arrange the Chips:Arrange the vegetable slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent them from crisping up.
Air Fry the Chips: Cook for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Keep an eye on the chips, as different vegetables may cook at slightly different rates. Remove the chips as they become golden and crispy.
Cool and Serve: Let the chips cool slightly; they will crisp up a bit more as they cool. Serve as a snack or side dish.
Recipe Notes :
Cooking time: Check the chips frequently as they cook since thinner slices may finish faster. Beets and other dense root veggies may need slightly longer.
Storage: For best results, enjoy immediately. If storing, place in an airtight container, though they may lose some crispness.
Variations: Try using herbs like thyme or oregano for a unique flavor, or sprinkle with a bit of parmesan or nutritional yeast for a cheesy twist.
Consistent thickness: Using a mandoline slicer can help achieve evenly thin slices, which cook more evenly and become crispier.
